”This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.” ~ Pema Chödrön

Take a moment out of your day to do absolutely nothing.

Breathe deeply. Appreciate the little things.

Be grateful for the simple joy of being alive.

Take chances.

Tell the truth.

Smile for no reason.

Date someone totally wrong for you.

Say no.

Spend all your cash.

Get to know someone random.

Be random. Be weird.

Say I love you.

Sing out loud. Forgive. Laugh at stupid jokes.

Cry. Apologize.

Tell someone how much they mean to you.

Laugh till your stomach hurts.

Live life.

Have no regrets.

Love elephant and want to go steady?
